A recent review of all the recycling 'bring sites' in the Borough has led to a recommendation going to the Council, which calls for all these sites to be closed by the end of September.
Following on from an article where a resident said " councillors were doing nothing", Cllr James Sapwell responded to explain exactly what steps had been taken:
As time ticks on, more and more local children and families are facing the huge difficulties and extra strain of the loss of vital local children's hospital services, and yet we have heard nothing of any plans to restore services to Bedford. We know only that the Bedfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group is planning to consult on unnecessary, permanent cuts to services. That's why tomorrow's (Saturday) march in support of children's A&E services and of Riverbank Children's Ward is so timely, as there is clearly a need to get the message across to the decision-makers in the NHS that our community expects nothing less than a united effort to bring these vital services back as soon as possible.
